As a mom, I strive to teach our kids that love is what it's all about, both through my own actions and by helping them navigate this messy, sometimes confusing world. Since this message is so important, it seems almost expected that "love" would be a recurrent theme in my art. I just created a new design I want to share with you, following this theme of love. It is a simple line drawing of a yellow pencil, writing the word "love". The yellow pencil makes me think of school days and drawing. I loved school as a child and nowadays I still find myself at school often, just not as a student but as a parent volunteer helping kids to read or accompanying them on a field trip. I guess I never grew tired of the energy in the classroom and the excitement learning can bring. Kids make me smile.Now while this line drawing of a pencil may be appealing to school teachers and artists, hopefully many of you would like the simple, yet important message the pencil writes: love. You may find the modern and elegant lettering is just what you were looking for in planning your wedding or a special anniversary celebration. Or even as a daily reminder to allow more love into our lives, for ourselves and for others.

For this reason, I made this design available on many different types of products from apparel to stationery to household items such as mugs, plates, coasters, napkins and more. If you are planning a party, the buttons, key chains or playing cards make neat favors. You can find the entire product line at www.zazzle.com/presentsoflove* and you can click on the images below for more product information.
